@T-Fontana
I thought she'd try to control Noa directly.

prologue:
"me and my guypal chat over tea and cake"

ch03:
these mofos on a chill-at-home basis 🤭

bruh, you could change da landscape into an iceland and skurt circles around mofos
could be a hell of a team-play
also, Yu-Gi-Oh

Ryo, ya not-gf gonna be pissed

After leaving Kailadi, everything went smoothly until the morning of the second day.

suddenly, Majora's Mask

ch04:
Ryo,... you could've put the fire out

...an assassin joins the party 🤷🏿‍♂️

ch05:
the milk's a Trugun reference, isn't it?
Ryo, having one job: "i'm gonna finish my food first, then i'll sound the alarm."

ch05.1:
hell, yeah, femme!Ryo 🙌🏿

Kala, the swordswoman-cum-bodyguard, announced, commencing the meeting.

wut?

ch06?:

“They invite their neighbors to come at the dead of the night—let’s say two thirty in the morning— and they walk around as a group, holding torches and wearing white cloaks that cover them from head to toe... They can make the event even more atmospheric by wearing creepy white masks.”

. . . is that a Klan reference?
shit, didn't Forest Gump pull something similar? 😑
am i gonna have to cancel another manga?

z02:
lul Oscar gettin' older sisters treatment
and this mofo rejected it
...somebody fanfic'd that yet? 👀 Oscar rediscoverin' love and family, sticking with his newfound older sisters, letting go of hate, forming new defensive fire magic,... and then puberty uwu?
(i'm aware that the bs of masculinity in a society may require one to deny the greatest of pleasures etc. it's still funny, though)

wait, why's this party called Shootingspree- oh~

There was a mentioned that Raymond changed de to the influence of his fiancée, I wonder if she's going to be the real final boss, and the demon lord will become an ally of Lofus in this timeline. We already saw that Warm is now indebted with him instead, and the heroines are steadily joining his harem.
I also think the alraune lady is going to become his familiar in the future. The big question is what it will be of the game protagonist.
Also, reading that the author started with FFX-2 made me feel old since my first one was FFVII.

The ending was rather abrupt...Anyway, a fun volume, although I missed Zelos' love interests.

Wow. Soooooo much hot spring fanservice in that color illustration in the ebook. And a high-resolution version, too!

@Cryten - yes, this is one of my favorites of the ongoing series at JNC because it's something light, silly and fun to read during my work week.

Nice ending. I think they should have let Ford know they were married and carved out some time for themselves.

Not happy this was axed. :(

@LeavesCat @pcj
I think it is a translation error on J-Novel's part. The terms God of Chaos (混沌神) and God of Destruction (破壊神) are both used in volume 1 of Knock Yourself Out!

Most of the time, in Knock Yourself Out!, J-Novel seemed to translate 混沌神 as God of Destruction instead of God of Chaos. But there is one line in Chapter 1 they translated that says "Sorry. To be honest, I didn’t think you were too different from an actual god of destruction." If you look at the Japanese Raw it says "すみません、破壊神か何かだと思ってました。" (Sorry. To be honest, I thought you were a God of Destruction or something.) It uses 破壊神 for God of Destruction. But everywhere else is 混沌神 is used.

If you look at Lazy Dungeon Master, the God of Chaos in spelled 混沌神 and through out the series this refers to Leona. In volume 17, when they refer to Niku as the God of Destruction they use 破壊神. This also lines up with the web novel as the author continued to publish parts for it and

I put a post in the corrections for volume 1 of Knock Yourself Out! but no one seemed to notice. I am going to write to support@j-novel.club to see if they will correct this.

Would both of you write to support@j-novel.club as well if you agree?

So when he comes into the world, it seems like the people that's had any interaction with pre-possessed Zil comes down to 3 people. And from them it seems each had a total of 5 minutes with the man. "Hey, I recruit you, here's a power, bye" Cause they are all surprised when he calls them to him and again when asked to see their abilities. So one of the "main issues" he has of needing to act like Zil seems to be a lot less of an issue than he makes it out to be. Like I feel they've had so little that they haven't had time to make strong impressions of him and his personality.

Second, I really tire of all the stripping and his letting the fanatic run wild. Like he thinks you're God, if you say, "hey, I actually don't want stripping" he'll come up with all the explanations for you and follow your rules. Letting him run wild seems like such an odd choice and the excuse that he needs to do so else he fears it'll destroy their faith and he'll turn and kill him for betraying his faith or something is also laughably ridiculous. And maybe I wouldn't mind so much if it didn't seem to take up a forth of the story. SOOOooo much seems to be about Kieran and Zil being annoyed by his actions or him spreading his religion. Like the funny one off has made itself a permanent and prominent feature and overstayed it's welcome.

The wedding were nice and so the fact that Shutola and Rion were able to have their first time.
The tag team battle was cool, although I hope the author isn't going to abuse the win by ring out, I'm especially worried for the battles against the guest characters since the author probably doesn't want to make them look bad.
The second battle was definitely less interesting, Rion was basically fighting a dummy and Dorothy herself is one of my least favorite characters.

That's such a perfect way to end the volume. Yep, three dragons. Not a problem worth mentioning, come and join the celebration of all these fancy new dragon materials that walked into our laps. How'd things go on your end?

@ca-lima Is it volume 12 or 13?

@karasutengu - I drifted away after volume 6 I think, but it's nice to hear that the author is letting relationships progress instead of just power levels and fame.

@Almond-Magnum possibly, but it's a silly story about giant cats batting cannonballs out of the sky so perhaps the author didn't think of it.

@infinitycrazee said in Water Magician Arc 1 Vol. 1 Discussion!:

Am i right to assume there are some parts missing in volume 5 especially on page 537?

I don't know whether it's the source's or the publisher's mistake.

You should email support@j-novel.club for errors found in published books, they aren't going to find it if you post it here. For what it's worth, something similar to what you described happened during prepublication but they fixed it, so I'd be surprised if that fix wasn't carried over to the full version.

The lack of detailed fight scenes did not bother me much.

I like that the story has progressed into more world building.

I dislike that the power levels used to tell the story.

I've read through v10. Have not cracked v11 yet.
